    Christmas Avatar

    Having seen this in the past years and not remembering who should get proper credit for starting it in the first place. I am switching my avatar to one with a Christmas theme. The member who started this tradition should speak up and take credit.

    This is wishing all Cast Boolits members a Merry Christmas.

    Changed mine in 2017, and liked it so much, I never changed it back. The young man eyeing the Christmas tree, and all of the gifts underneath, is my grandson.

    Well.....dangit, you took my first choice!!

    It is, undisputedly, the only Christmas movie that matters.

    I'll redact that on second thought....Rugerfan has it right as well. Die Hard is, undisputedly a Christmas movie....albeit in second place. :P

    LOL! I remember going to the theater in 1983 when 'A Christmas Story' first came out. One of my all-time favorites!

    It would be nice if the stuff in my shop got done like that. I could probably give customers a pretty good break on prices, and maybe some of my projects would finally get done.

    So it has been another year and to get the Christmas spirit started I'm going to change my avatar to a Christmas theme, so I welcome or challenge or invite any who want to join me. Now this is not a new idea at Cast Boolits as OS OK gets credit for starting this a few years ago so he gets the credit. Thanks Charlie!

    Merry Christmas to all,
